The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — you, spoiler — and what happens in the verse to thee, thyself, ashes, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 52 chapters of Jeremiah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. בַּת־עַמִּ֤י חִגְרִי־שָׂק֙ וְהִתְפַּלְּשִׁ֣י בָאֵ֔פֶר אֵ֤בֶל יָחִיד֙ עֲשִׂ֣י לָ֔ךְ מִסְפַּ֖ד תַּמְרוּרִ֑ים כִּ֣י פִתְאֹ֔ם יָבֹ֥א הַשֹּׁדֵ֖ד עָלֵֽינוּ׃ [O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes; make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.197/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:JER:168 # text = בַּת־עַמִּ֤י חִגְרִי־שָׂק֙ וְהִתְפַּלְּשִׁ֣י בָאֵ֔פֶר אֵ֤בֶל יָחִיד֙ עֲשִׂ֣י לָ֔ךְ מִסְפַּ֖ד תַּמְרוּרִ֑ים כִּ֣י פִתְאֹ֔ם יָבֹ֥א הַשֹּׁדֵ֖ד עָלֵֽינוּ׃ # verse = JER.6.26 1 בַּת־ בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 dislocated _ Gloss=O.daughter|Ref=JER_6:26!1|MId=o240060260011|Strong=1323|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 עַמִּ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.people|Ref=JER_6:26!2|MId=o240060260021|Strong=5971 3 ִ֤י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=JER_6:26!2|MId=o240060260022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4 חִגְרִי־ חָגַר VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=gird.yourself|Ref=JER_6:26!3|MId=o240060260031|Strong=2296|Frame=A0:240060260011;A1:240060260041;|Type=imperative|SpaceAfter=No 5 שָׂק֙ שַׂק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=sackcloth|Ref=JER_6:26!4|MId=o240060260041|Strong=8242 6-7 וְהִתְפַּלְּשִׁ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JER_6:26!5|MId=o240060260051|Strong=2050b 7 הִתְפַּלְּשִׁ֣י פָּלַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 conj _ Gloss=roll|Ref=JER_6:26!5|MId=o240060260052|Strong=6428|Frame=A0:240060260011;|Type=imperative 8-10 בָאֵ֔פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בָ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JER_6:26!6|MId=o240060260061|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JER_6:26!6|MId=o240060260061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 אֵ֔פֶר אֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=ash[es]|Ref=JER_6:26!6|MId=o240060260062|Strong=0665 11 אֵ֤בֶל אֵבֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=[the].mourning|Ref=JER_6:26!7|MId=o240060260071|Strong=0060 12 יָחִיד֙ יָחִיד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.an.only.[child]|Ref=JER_6:26!8|MId=o240060260081|Strong=3173|Type=adjective 13 עֲשִׂ֣י עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=observe|Ref=JER_6:26!9|MId=o240060260091|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:240060260011;A1:240060260071;|Type=imperative 14-15 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 ל לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=JER_6:26!10|MId=o240060260101|Strong=3807a 15 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=JER_6:26!10|MId=o240060260102|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 16 מִסְפַּ֖ד מִסְפֵּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=wailing|Ref=JER_6:26!11|MId=o240060260111|Strong=4553 17 תַּמְרוּרִ֑ים תַּמְרוּרִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.bitterness(es)|Ref=JER_6:26!12|MId=o240060260121|Strong=8563 18 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JER_6:26!13|MId=o240060260131|Strong=3588 19 פִתְאֹ֔ם פִּתְאֹם ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=suddenly|Ref=JER_6:26!14|MId=o240060260141|Strong=6597 20 יָבֹ֥א בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 advcl _ Gloss=it.will.come|Ref=JER_6:26!15|MId=o240060260151|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:240060260162;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 הַשֹּׁדֵ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JER_6:26!16|MId=o240060260161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 שֹּׁדֵ֖ד שָׁדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 20 nsubj _ Gloss=destroyer|Ref=JER_6:26!16|MId=o240060260162|Strong=7703|Type=participle_active 23-24 עָלֵֽינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 עָלֵֽי עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=JER_6:26!17|MId=o240060260171|Strong=5921 24 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=JER_6:26!17|MId=o240060260172|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JER_6:26!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חִגְרִי־ *gird yourself* | imperative · qal | בַּת־ *O daughter* | שָׂק *sackcloth* | | | | הִתְפַּלְּשִׁי *roll* | imperative · hithpael | בַּת־ *O daughter* | | | | | עֲשִׂי *observe* | imperative · qal | בַּת־ *O daughter* | אֵבֶל *\[the\] mourning* | | | | יָבֹא *it will come* | yiqtol · qal | שֹּׁדֵד *destroyer* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
